I used to have to go to their house in Alameda- LOL! Let us know when you're freeping on a VAX.

I still have my DEC Rainbow 100 B (whatever)from about 1983/4 or so sitting in my storage room in a warehouse. Don't ask why, I don't know. I think I have an MS/DOS OS version that wasn't compatible with the other IBM MSDOS that went with it.

It was such a pretty computer and very expensive. Shouldn't have bought it. The world was going another direction. But it looked good with that slick little monitor and the big keyboard.

Boy, DEC sure crashed and burned for such a great company. Ken Olsen just didn't see the PC revolution coming did he?

I thought CPM was pretty fast and simple. It cudda been a contender.
